The Challenge

Nearly 4 in 10 households in the Northern Shenandoah Valley cannot afford the basics: housing, food, childcare, transportation, and healthcare.

And instability does not stop at one family’s doorstep. It ripples across classrooms, workplaces, clinics, and neighborhoods. We all feel the cost.

Impact-Driven Funding Opportunities. Hyper-Local Focus.

We live in the communities we serve, working alongside local leaders and residents. Together, we use local data and lived experience to design solutions tailor-made for the challenges right here in the Northern Shenandoah Valley.

It is all rooted in United Way values and proven strategies, but never a one-size-fits-all approach. Every dollar you give stays local, drives measurable results, and fuels change where it matters most — in your own community.

Our Response: Building Stability

United Way NSV invests in more than quick fixes. We create long-term stability:

  • $535,000 invested through Community Impact Grants, endowed funds, and supplemental awards, strengthening 50+ nonprofit partners across the region raised during the 2024-2025 campaign season. 
  • Nearly 1,000 volunteers at 80+ sites during 2024’s Day of Caring, completing painting, repairs, garden builds, and cleanups. This saved agencies thousands of dollars and strengthened community infrastructure, with even greater impact expected in 2025.
  • 211 and other community initiatives connecting families to critical resources before crisis becomes catastrophe.
  • $50,000 transferred annually to nonprofit partners through designated funds received during workplace giving campaigns.

Impact: Together, these efforts reached 11,000+ households and 27,628 individuals — nearly one in ten people in our region.

Our Priorities: Impact for People

We fund programs and partnerships that create lasting change:

  • Education → Children succeed in school and beyond.
  • Financial stability → Families avoid eviction, debt, and crisis.
  • Health access → Neighbors receive care regardless of income or ZIP code.
  • Community resilience → Families gain stability through food, housing, and other basic needs support.
  • Collaboration → Shared solutions emerge that no one sector could achieve alone.

To ensure fairness across communities, investments were distributed regionally:

  • City of Winchester – Housing stability, food access, youth enrichment
  • Frederick County – Housing, crisis response, and family support
  • Clarke County – Food security and youth development
  • Warren County – Health clinics, shelter, and family resilience
  • Shenandoah County – Rural health, education, and crisis care
  • Page County – Domestic violence prevention, housing, and community care
